Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Choose a variable for the number.</u>

let the number be "x"

<u>Make an equation</u> with the information from the problem. Break down each part of the problem and change it to the algebraic form (numbers and symbols).

"When 8 is added to"               8 +  

"3 times a certain number"       3x

"the result is the same as"         =

"adding 12 to"                            12 +

"twice the number"                   2x

Put the equation back together with each of the parts.

8 + 3x = 12 + 2x

<u>Now isolate "x"</u> to the left side to find the number.

8 + 3x - 2x = 12 + 2x - 2x       Subtract 2x from both sides

8 + x = 12                           "x" is only on the left side

8 - 8 + x = 12 - 8                Subtract 8 from both sides

x = 4                             Solved for the number

Therefore the number is 4.

Using the same data set, four models are estimated using the same response variable, however, the number of explanatory variable
kirill [66]

Answer:

Model A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table :

___________M 1 ____ M 2 ____ M 3 ____M 4

Multiple R _ 0.993 ___ 0.991 ___0.936__ 0.746

R Square __0.987___ 0.982 ___0.877 __0.557

Adj R² ____ 0.982___ 0.978 __ 0.849 ___0.513

S E_______ 4,043 __ 4,463 ___11,615 __20,878 Observations_ 12 _____ 12 _____ 12 ____12

Based on the detains of the model given, we could use the R value, R² and standard error values to evaluate the performance of the different models.

The best model will be one with Correlation Coefficient (R value) closet to 1. The model with the highest R value will also have the highest Coefficient of determination, R² value. The a best model is one which has a low a standard error value.

From the table, Model A has the highest R and R² values. It also has the lowest standard error value. Hence, we can conclude that model A provides the best fit.

The gas tank of the truck holds 30 gallons the gas tank of a passenger car holds 50% less how many gallons does it hold?
love history [14]

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much the passenger car holds, we need to first find what 50% of the trucks gas tank holds.

Truck Gas Tank = 30 gallons

Now we find how much 50% of 30 is:

50% = 0.50

Total = 30 x 0.50

Total = 15 Gallons

So the passenger car holds 15 gallons of gas.
